mid cycle ultrasound went awesome!

well i woke up this morning and took an ovulation test. for a while it was completely blank. which was so weird. not even 1 line. but after 3 min or so i saw two light lines. so i felt good about that. bc it means we're in the ballpark. i'll probably surge tomorrow.

 

i went to my appt. the ultrasound lady was somewhat pleasant today. although still lazy as **** but anyway she did my ultra sound. she said it was hard to see my uterus bc it was facing my spine, which i guess is one of the positions it takes. she said i had a follicle. my mind thought "fibroid" bc thats what i had on my uterus last time. so i said, on my uterus? she said no on your right ovary. and i said..is that bad? you can tell she was a little annoyed with how little i know. she said at this stage of your cycle we expect to see a follicle in the ovary, and you have one.  thats when i smiled! yipeee!!!

 

then i put my clothes on and she took me to another room and took my blood. then the doctor came in. i was happy i got to see him bc it looked like i was just gonna do the ultrasound and thats it. i loved this appt because i was never waiting at all. everything was quick. it was awesome.

 

so anyway the doc comes in and tells me that my right ovary has a follicle and my left one doesn't. and that my uterine lining is strong. which are all good things. which makes me very happy to hear. then he says he's gonna check my cervical mucus. he asks me when i last had sex, i said yesterday, he said perfect. so he has me undress again and he checks me. all quick like.  he shows me my cervical mucus as he puts it on a slab and he shows me what the consistency is supposed to look like. i love how he explains everything (unlike the ultrasound tech who i guess thinks i should already know everything). then he says get dressed and go to my office and we'll look at this under the microscope. 

 

so i go to his office and i see him with his microscope and its projecting onto a computer screen. it was sooooooo cool!!! i saw my hubby's sperm!! is it weird that i was like "awww"? lol. never seen his sperm before. they were wiggling like crazy haha. and he said there was a good amount of sperm there. yay!!! so much yayyyyyy!!!

 

he told me to wait till tomorrow night to take another ovulation test. and that they would call me this afternoon with the results of the blood test. which i think was meant to check my hormone levels or the mucus or something. i dunno. all i could think about what how awesome my body is and how proud i am that its doing this all on its own!

 

i've had sex the last 2 days and i plan to do it again today and tomorrow until the ovulation  is complete. i'm not taking any chances! i hope one of them takes.

 

ps. sometimes i think Preseed is like a non stick pan. the semen goes in and slides right out after. i go to pee after sex (sorry for the tmi) and i see it there and i'm like what a waste! i just hope some of it made it up there. and after seeing his boys on the microscope i was happy to know that some are making it there. yaaay!

*update*
the u/s tech called me to let me know my results came back and my hormone levels look great. she said to take the ovulation test tomorrow and to have sex every other day. i asked her if it was ok to do it every day. she said i should do it tomorrow and the day after (assuming tomorrow is my surge day) but that it might be uncomfortable to have sex every day. i think she thought i meant every day ALL MONTH. i really just meant every day of ovulation week. lol. so i think the consensus is have sex the day of the surge and the day after (and the day before, i say) and just every other day for the rest of the month.

Wow sounds like you had an awesome appointment! Thank GOD for good doctors that take their time to explain things.  All the info you received sounds VERY promising!  Hope you get your BFP in the next few weeks!

 thank you soooooo much!!! :)

Hope all goes well for you best of luck.....I always pee after sex helps keep UTI away and trust me if doctor sees them swimming your fine.When I was ovulating we had sex everyday.Women's egg they say is good between 12-24 hours but better chance at 12 hours and mans sperm is good for 24-72 hours so everyday is great or even every other day.
I found just to have fun with it and relax has made it a lot easier for us and it has seem to work.

 good info. we are having fun (our sex life was pretty pathetic prior to this so we're both like school kids again) but relaxing? lol thats harder. i'm so type A. i want it to happen. and i'll admit that i say, come on we have to have sex, and even when i'm not in the mood i make sure we do it if i'm ovulating. but i warned him about that before we started trying and he was like "pshhh bring it on". lol. i think he's anjoying the regular sex.

I don't know if its true but I did hear if your not in the mood sometimes your body's not in the mood.......TMI but make sure or try both of you to *** together at same time when you ****** together its contracts more your way as well.

I feel ya It took me six years prior to surgery trying to get pregnant and I have twice now lost my first set of twins and I'm six weeks pregnant.I have hope for you prayers your way!

 i've heard that as well. but finishing at the same time is impossible. its never happened. not even close. lol. i can't ****** from penetration. but i try to have one after sex that way the cervix or whatever dips into the semen. 

Ha ha...we were the same way when TTC.  By the fifth day in a row, tho, we'd both be like..."eh...again?"  It kind of became a chore.  Enjoy it now because after baby it's not much of a priority!

 i feel horrible saying this but i could go for months without sex and be ok. i just haven't had much sex drive for years. even to begin with i wasn't that sexual. but the pcos just made me want it less and less and the painful intercourse just made things worse. so i enjoy the intimacy but i feel like he should enjoy it as much as he can because he won't be getting it when we have a kid. lol. i mean, we rarely did it before, i would imagine with a kid it'll be even worse. the funny thing is that sometimes i do see him like meh, i'd rather sleep. which makes me laugh because this is the guy who would be half asleep and doing it. its nice to know that i'm not letting him down all the time because sometimes he doesn't want to either. 

for me its not a chore, more like an assignment. homework. lol. he's not as excited about it as i thought he would be. he says things like "you just want me to make a baby" lol. well duh.

I can relate to all of that.  I had lots of sex drive for the first year or two of our relationship but in year 12...not so much!  I could go months and months easily!
